Article: Fees and rates explained

What you see is what you pay. No surprise fees—just one clear rate every time you buy or sell Bitcoin.

Updated this week

🔢 How Our Fees Work

At 1Bitcoin.ca, all fees are included in the rate we quote you—no hidden or surprise charges.
That means:

  • No extra fees at checkout

  • No e-Transfer deposit fees

  • No Bitcoin withdrawal fees


📊 Why Fees Are Included in the Rate

  • Simple, transparent experience

  • You always know exactly what you’re getting

  • No manual calculations or unexpected costs


🔄 Swap Fee Breakdown

  • Buying Bitcoin: A 3.49% premium is applied to the spot rate

  • Selling Bitcoin: A 0.99% discount is applied to the spot rate

  • Selling is time-sensitive: The exchange rate is locked once your transaction receives its first blockchain confirmation, so it can vary depending on network congestion and confirmation time

  • Rates may also vary based on order size, market conditions, and available liquidity

Fees cover mining/network costs, regulatory compliance, and platform operations.


🔍 Where You’ll See the Rate

Before every swap, you’ll see:

  • The real-time exchange rate (with fees already included)

  • The exact amount of Bitcoin or Canadian dollars you’ll receive

  • A confirmation button to review everything before proceeding
